bulk_upload.py

Thank you for the bug report on bulk_upload.py made to the wiki, I will take a look at the patch and apply in due course. --Thomas Wood 13:49, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

NHD Import in Colorado

There's some curious data here... Take, for example, at lat=39.07193&lon=-108.59482&zoom=16 there's a "Connecticut lake" which I know hasn't existed for many, many years. It must predate some of the gravel mining done in the area, and is likely to be >30 years old. (I grew up only a few miles away from this location, and am working on updating the hometown map. Relatively new to osm) -- Riddochc 01:07, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, no problem. It was precisely the issue that Muki raises which is why I shoved it in the wiki. Of course I should have written an elegantly argued blog entry. The whole OS OpenData page could really do with being split with subpages for each distinct data source. I'm not sure we have a good entry on projections which I think is important, and we dont have anything in the import catalogue either. SK53 19:04, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

SK53/Haiti

Please, move the page back to proposal namespace as that's the proper place for unapproved tags with low usage. Thanks --Skyper 19:01, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Dear Skyper. I do not recognise the 'approval' process. I believe the wiki is for documenting tags as used. I do not propose to move this page back and will treat other attempts to move it as vandalism! SK53 (talk) 19:34, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

That is not the way we communicate and also not the way how we handle pages about unapproved tags with only low numbers in usage. Please, move it back. --Skyper 19:55, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Translation

translating OSM wiki is really hard specially for RTL languages. Is there any WYSIWYG editor for translating? and how can I add Persian "Image of the Week", "News" and "meta info" templates?

I'm not really the person to ask (see the next item), but people like Aseerel4c26 and EdLoach who are wiki administrators ought to be able to help. The only template I regularly edit is the calendar and that has a reasonable how-to in the template. SK53 (talk) 12:06, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Reverting

Do you know that instead of this batch of reverts you could just open a old version, click edit, and save with an appropriate comment? --Aseerel4c26 (talk) 22:46, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

I sort of did know, but decided that I was absolutely confident about the brute force approach. I'll keep this note to remind me how to do it next time! SK53 (talk) 12:06, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Feedlots

Not very relevant: that was merely documenting a tag which I came across in editing using wikipedia and some talk messages. I did follow the feedlot discussion and from what I remember did not like the final decision. SK53 (talk) 18:30, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Using "landuse=village_green" in Spain

Hi, SK53! The Spanish OSM Community is talking about using the landuse=village_green. We would like to ask you about this wiki page revision: "In Spain the tag has been used consensually to map Paseos". What is the source of this information? Thank you! --Daniel Capilla (talk) 19:50, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Carlos Davilla in Caceres in discussion around 2010. Things may have moved on but there still seem to be plenty of such landuse in Spain. SK53 (talk) 10:06, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
